I broke my lifter cuff bolts.
Used a kit instead of trying to remove the broken bolt.

Cuff bolts came right out, lucky me. The old lifters came out like this after 3500 km.
Replace lifters with hp+ feuling and star racing lifter cuffs. Its more quiet now and relaible.

Was the cam bearing changed to a full roller style when the cam was installed? That is more of a most do on cam installs than lifters, if not already done.
